I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one… Humans are caught — in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too — in a net of good and evil… There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well — or ill?

Thought:

“We’re desperate for excitement of some kind. That’s the drawback to living in an entertainment culture — the entertainment begins to pall after a while. It’s like spending too long at a theme park — you begin to long to get out of it. And when you realize that there’s nowhere to get out to, that it’s all like this, that the theme park now circles the planet and that’s all there is — that makes for desperation.”
